Azure Migrate enables you to discover your on-premises environment and plan your migration to Azure. Based on popular demand, we enabled Azure Migrate in two new geographies, Azure Government and Europe. We will enable support for other Azure geographies in future. Azure Site Recovery (ASR) helps you migrate your on-premises virtual machines (VMs) to IaaS VMs in Azure, this is the lift and shift migration, which now includes: Support for physical servers with UEFI boot type, Linux disk support, and Migration from anywhere (public or private clouds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional updates for migration support and Azure Site Recovery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/updates\/support-for-sql-to-azure-sql-database-online-migrations\/?ocid=AID765057&amp;wt.mc_id=CFID0386\">Support for SQL to Azure SQL Database online migrations<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/updates\/support-for-mysql-to-azure-database-for-mysql-online-migrations-2\/?ocid=AID765057&amp;wt.mc_id=CFID0386\">Support for MySQL to Azure Database for MySQL online migrations<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/updates\/support-for-postgresql-to-azure-database-for-postgresql-online-migrations\/?ocid=AID765057&amp;wt.mc_id=CFID0386\">Support for PostgreSQL to Azure Database for PostgreSQL online migrations<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/updates\/site-recovery-rollup-32\/?ocid=AID765057&amp;wt.mc_id=CFID0386\">Azure Site Recovery &#8211; Update Rollup 32<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"streamlined-development-experience-with-azure-blockchain-workbench-1-6-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/streamlined-development-experience-with-azure-blockchain-workbench-1-6-0\/?ocid=AID765057&amp;wt.mc_id=CFID0386\">Streamlined development experience with Azure Blockchain Workbench 1.6.0<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Blockchain Workbench 1.6.0 is now available and includes new features such as application versioning, updated messaging, and streamlined smart contract development.

The research showed that more than 90% of people expect manufacturers to do more for device security, and most people will avoid brands that have public breaches. Security is the top consideration for consumers thinking of buying a device, and consumers are willing to pay more for highly secured devices. See the blog post for a detailed infographic that outlines the details of the research. Note that devices built with Azure Sphere always maintain their security health through a combination of secured hardware, a secured OS, and cloud security that provides automated software updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"multi-modal-topic-inferencing-from-videos\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/multi-modal-topic-inferencing-from-videos\/?ocid=AID765057&amp;wt.mc_id=CFID0386\">Multi-modal topic inferencing from videos<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Video Indexer is a cloud application built on Azure Media Analytics, Azure Search, Cognitive Services. It enables you to extract the insights from your videos using Video Indexer models. Multi-modal topic inferencing in Video Indexer is a new capability that can intuitively index media content using a cross-channel model to automatically infer topics. The model does so by projecting the video concepts onto three different ontologies &#8211; IPTC, Wikipedia, and the Video Indexer hierarchical topic ontology. Video Indexer\u2019s topic model empowers media users to categorize their content using an intuitive methodology and optimize their content discovery. Multi-modality is a key ingredient for recognizing high-level concepts in video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/aa500b17-9d72-44b7-8db1-806cbc3adb5a.webp\" alt=\"A diagram represents the analysis of a media file from its upload to the insights\" style=\"border-radius:0px;object-fit:cover;width:576px;height:316px\" title=\"Video Indexer AI models under the hood\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-january-release-of-azure-data-studio\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudblogs.microsoft.com\/sqlserver\/2019\/01\/09\/the-january-release-of-azure-data-studio-is-now-available\/?ocid=AID765057&amp;wt.mc_id=CFID0386\">The January release of Azure Data Studio<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Data Studio (formerly known as SQL Operations Studio) is a new cross-platform desktop environment for data professionals using the family of on-premise and cloud data platforms (such as SQL Server, Azure SQL DB and Azure SQL Data Warehouse) on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

However, sometimes you experience scenarios that take platforms to their extreme, and those limits become real and therefore thought should be put into overcoming them. Solving this challenge must not only take into account the limitations and thresholds applied near the edge of the cloud platform\u2019s capabilities, but also optimize cost, performance, and usability. Buzz is a scaling platform that uses Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) to scale beyond the limits of a single set and enables hyper-scale stress tests, DDoS simulators and HPC use cases. Buzz orchestrates a number of Azure components to manage high scale clusters of VMs running and performing the same actions, such as generating load on an endpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/e00e3aa5-a240-47e2-b8a2-cf506106d4cd.webp\" alt=\"Solution diagram showing the flow of a load test scenario\" style=\"border-radius:0px;object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:315px\" title=\"Load test scenario implmented using VM Scale Sets, Azure Functions, Azure Storage, and the ARM API\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"teradata-to-azure-sql-data-warehouse-migration-guide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/teradata-to-azure-sql-data-warehouse-migration-guide?ocid=AID765057&amp;wt.mc_id=CFID0386\">Teradata to Azure SQL Data Warehouse migration guide<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the increasing benefits of cloud-based data warehouses, there has been a surge in the number of customers migrating from their traditional on-premises data warehouses to the cloud.
